Vampire Families (source: from the series)
They are 13 Vampire Families, also known as Clans:
- Dracas: This clan is from Norway and they have won the most rubies. Their birth power is telepathy but by winning fights against other vampire clans during the clan wars, they gained the rubies of Vikla and Grimur. It is said that Dracas are the most ruthless and the most power hungry. They didn't have any mercy during the clan war (Dracas known: Lars, the twins Inger and Fanny, the Baron Magnus, Karen and Ragnar);
- Vamalia: This clan lives in Germany and have the power of love - a power the other clans say is the most useless and weakest of all the powers (Vamilia known: Elena, her daughter Anna and her grand-kids Alisa and Tammo);
- Nosferas: This clan lives in Italy. Their ruby, encrusted in an inverted cross, has the power make crosses and holy water inactive against vampires. This clan won a battle against the Arrufat, thereby gaining their ruby (Nosferas known: the Count Claudio, the Countess Viola, their boy Luciano, and Humberto);
- Pyras: They live in France and their ruby gives them the power to talk with animals(Pyras known: Joanne and her mother);
- Vyrad: They come from England. Their power is the control of the elements (control over wind, lighting, rain, snow and cloud creation(Vyrad known: Malcom and Sir Milton);
- Lycana: This clan are from Ireland. They fought against the Dracas and the Nosferas but it is currently unknown as to who exactly killed them with only the heir of the Lycana clan surviving with their ruby. The ruby of his clan has the power of shapeshifting (usually in animal). Seymour bit a young girl twice, thereby transforming her into shadow vampire so as to not be alone. It is said that the Upiry took their ruby and gave it to Dracula, trapping Seymour in wolf form as he had shape shifted into a wolf when the Upiry stole his ruby. (Lycana known: Seymour and Ivy);
- Upiry: They come from Romania. This clan had the ruby with the power of astral projection/ shadow-walking. They were under the protection of Dracula during the war against him. Having fought for him, the others clans thought them all dead and extinct, however, Dracula, before being defeated and placed into a sleep, turned them all into bats and imprisoned them in his dungeon. Awakening 300 years later, Dracula liberated a vampire named Tonka so she could steal all the rubies from the Elders- a task if successful would mean the liberation of her clan (Upiry known: Tonka);
- Caminada: They come from Switzerland and their ruby grants the power of Invisibility;
- Vikla: They come from Greece. The ruby of the Vikla grants the power of telekinesis;
- Tova: They come from Holland. The ruby of the Tova allows the vampire to move in water;
- Belov: They come from Russia. The ruby grants the power to walk in sunlight;
- Grimur: They come from Austria. Their ruby has the power to capture sunlight;
- Arrufat: They come from Spain. The ruby of the Arrufat has the power to talk with the dead.

gollark: Which is uncool.
gollark: The people who wrote the spec are clearly scared of calculus or something.
gollark: Unfortunately A-level physics, which I study, as a student in the UK kingdom, is *veeeery* unmathy.
gollark: I just have a surface-level understanding of a bit of it, which is not very useful.
